Douglas Elliman Closes $4.7B in Florida in 2018 After a Sprinkle of SALT Posted on March 21, 2019 by Michael Light Douglas Elliman Florida saw a 30% increase in total sales volume from 2017 to 2018. In 2018, Douglas Elliman Florida closed $4.7 Billion in total sales volume, which is a huge jump from $3.6 Billion in sales in 2017. Why? With only 7,000 agents nationwide, including only 1,200 in Florida, how does a private brokerage firm perform these kinds of numbers in South Florida? Well, our connection to our base in the Northeast has played a major role. And more specifically, the mass exodus of people from New York and Connecticut have been vital to the growth of South Florida’s luxury real estate market. As I reported last month, there was a record number of $1M+ sales last year and an even higher number of ultra-luxury sales above $10M+. Unless you are living under a rock, you have heard about the federal tax overhaul that took place in 2017 wherein the new law limited the amount of state and local taxes (SALT) that taxpayers can write off to only $10,000. A report by Bloomberg showed that last year, there was more than $323 Billion in SALT tax bills that could not be deducted, mostly coming from states like New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. As a result, it is not a coincidence that Miami saw a record number of luxury and ultra-luxury sales. Buyers from high-tax states are fleeing to South Florida to realize millions in tax savings. It would be impossible to access every sale that was closed by Douglas Elliman last year to look at the specific transactions that led to a $1.1 Billion jump in closed sales while some, especially news outlets, “report” on the downturn in the Miami market. Instead of looking at these sales, look at the confluence of the new SALT cap, low tax base that Florida offers and the fact that Douglas Elliman is the market leader in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. It is pretty easy to glean that Elliman Florida is the natural “partner” that Northeast buyers turn to when moving to South Florida. If you are interested in purchasing real estate in South Florida or are simply interested in learning more about the overall market, please contact Broker Michael Light, Senior Director of Luxury Sales at Douglas Elliman.

A Powerful Partnership | Douglas Elliman’s Exclusive Partnership with Knight Frank Residential Posted on January 24, 2019March 11, 2019 by Michael Light A few years ago, Douglas Elliman Real Estate, the highest-grossing private real estate company in the United States, formed an exclusive partnership with Knight Frank Residential headquartered in London, which is an international luxury real estate firm that individually operates across Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. These 2 real estate powerhouses strategically formed an alliance because Douglas Elliman only operates in the United States while Knight Frank operates everywhere but the U.S. So, what better way to take over the luxury real estate market across the globe…form an exclusive partnership. But this partnership is not just for looks, it is genuinely effective and efficient. Both Douglas Elliman and Knight Frank represent many ultra-high-net-worth individuals that are buying real estate all over the world, whether for investment purposes only or for 2nd, 3rd homes, etc. Together, DE & KF joined forces to create an influential real estate network spanning 523 offices in 60 countries across 6 continents. Our companies share clients and data as well as collaborate on projects. For example, every year DE & KF put out the highly-respected Wealth Report, which reflects the global perspective on prime property and investment, including key wealth trends and property hotspots around the world. The Wealth Report examines investment trends covering almost 100 countries and 100+ cities, including what $1M USD buys you around the world. Douglas Elliman & Knight Frank have come together to build a platform that caters to the global needs of all of our clients.

On a global scale, Miami has grown to become one of the most sought-after destinations to call home. Whether because of the year-round tropical weather, the value proposition of owning real estate or the escape from an ever-expanding tax base that has majorly affected a huge portion of the U.S., people are flocking to Miami more than ever. Because of the diverse international presence in Miami, a lot of my long-term clients hail from all around the world, thus they buy property all around the world, not just in Miami. Because of our exclusive partnership with Knight Frank, my clients can utilize the relationships that we have built to help them with purchases in all of the locations that Knight Frank is present. I would personally assist with global purchases and refer you to an advisor that I trust to take care of you in the city/country that you are looking to purchase. Our Monthly Spotlight on Premier International Properties Jaimee and I traveled across the pond to meet with our Knight Frank colleagues Stacey Watson, Partner and Manager of International Operations, and Daniel Daggers, a premier luxury agent in London also known as ‘Mr. Super Prime,’ to tour the most exclusive properties being marketed for sale in London. We also discussed with Stacey and Daniel the overall market trends around the world, and they informed us about exclusive properties being marketed for sale by Knight Frank in other markets including Sydney, Dubai, Interlaken, Paris and Singapore. Because of our insightful meeting, we thought it would be a great idea and beneficial to our international clients to publish a monthly spotlight on a premier international property. This property may be a boutique condo building in the heart of London, a luxury estate on a sprawling game farm in South Africa, an exquisite house in a quiet village along the mountains in Switzerland, etc. Our first spotlight will be coming in a few weeks where we feature a spectacular boutique condo building in the Mayfair neighborhood of London, Clarges at Mayfair, so be sure to check out this stunning property, along with all of the others each month!
